Anonymous attacks Finnish anti-piracy site after Pirate Bay ruling

CIAPC site allegedly taken down after Finnish court rules ISP Elisa must block the file-sharing site

Hacktivist group Anonymous has urged its followers to target Finnish anti-piracy body the Copyright Information and Anti-Piracy Centre (CIAPC) after it persuaded the Helsinki District Court to force one of the country's biggest ISPs to block access to The Pirate Bay.

Anonymous tweeted from several of its accounts, urging members to target the CIAPC's web site, Antipiracy.fi, in retaliation for forcing ISP Elisa into blocking the infamous file-sharing site.

"Ladies and gents: today we will focus on Finland. and every country like it who has begun a campaign of censorship. First steps to Cyberwar," tweeted the AnonymouSabu account.

Various Anonymous accounts later tweeted that the site had indeed been taken down, although it was back up again at the time of writing.

"TANGO DOWN http://www.antipiracy.fi Copyright Information & Anti-Piracy Centre In Finland | And We'll keep it down as long as We want \o/," tweeted @anon_finland.

The CIAPC, which is connected to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, has reportedly gone after other ISPs in the country requesting similar action, although Elisa is seeking to appeal the court's decision.

Internet censorship and the battle between rights holders and file sharers remains a key focus for Anonymous, with the US currently debating the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (Sopa).
